Agreed! I was bummed to see that the jump seats with the grab handles were gone, but at least somewhat mollified that they were replaced with wheel tubs and big fat slicks. But then again I'm a special kind of drag racing redneck so my perspective is a bit skewed.

Chris, this seems like a cool little Miata. Any giant red flags you can see just from this CL listing?

Say no to any pre-99 Miata. It's just not worth getting when you can have a much better car all around for just pennies more (often not even any more)

Between me and my bro we've had about 30-40 Miata's, and if you need any parts for 01+ just holla at me. He's got about 12 he's parting out right now

And **** you! The BOV is excellent.

who wants to guess which is which?
You run these numbers? I did a 17.0 @ 79 in the NA.

Supposedly it should have done a 16.3

Nope! The XT didn't have a 5eat. It still had a 4eat

If you want an NA it looks like a great car. NA is a better Miata, but NBs are better cars while still being a damned good Miata.

Reno does not really salt in the same way as in the midwest does so it should not be a problem.

I hear that all the time. I don't know what it means.

If by "better Miata" you mean it's gayer looking, sloppier chassis, inferior suspension components, inferior engine and ecu, much less refined, and uses parts designed in the 70's/80's, I guess I would agree.

lol

What I always find crazy is how many people pick up an NA, then dump thousands of dollars into it buying superior NB parts, just to make it somewhat sort of close to an NB (it still isn't, but it's close).

No offense to NA miata's
